same. In I )r. Ilartman's MS. work the name is placed next to /\ 

 /(e?'ii^<i/n. Sec under No. 4243. 



Partula grisea Less., New Ciuinea (ori<;inally des(ril)ed as a I'lili- 

 niiis). Not in the Hartman collection, and it ajjpears to be a lost 

 species. i)r. Hartman, in his MS. work, places it after F. cincrea 

 Albers. Mr. Ciarrett wrote. May 25, 1882: "Roth Lesson's and 

 Albers' descriptions oi grisea, from New (luinea, most certainly do not 

 coincide with micaiis or coxi. It agrees more nearly with the Solo- 

 mon Lsland Partula which I last sent" (probably P. y?<?.v«<7ja Hartm., 

 No. 4238)- 



4238. "Partula flexuosa Hartm. (type) , Solomon Lsls. Cox datum. ' ' 

 On the back of the card is written : " This shell w-e have been calling 

 cincrea. Is it that species? L. 15-20, W. 8-9." The figures are 

 measurements of length and width in millimeters. For the pencil note 

 see No. 4237 and Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila. , 1885, p. 204. Three 

 specimens and a photograph of another pasted to the same card, the 

 word "type" being written underneath the photograph. Types or 

 cotypes of Dr. Hartman's description and figure, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. 

 Phila., 1885, p. 204. The habitat given is " St. George's and Eddy- 

 stone Islands, Solomon Islands." The shells were received from Dr. 

 Cox through Mr. (iarrett. Perhaps the photograph represents a speci- 

 men which was returned to Dr. Cox, though it corresponds closely to 

 one of the examples on the card. Dr. Hartman's figure does not 

 agree well with the photograph. 



4239. *• Partula hastula Hartm., Simbo or Eddystone Isld., Sol. 

 Islds. " On the back of the card is writen : " No. 18 of Brazier, Simbo, 

 Eddystone Isld. Marked .f/(7(^//V<'r? by Pease. No." (see notes under 

 No. 4227). Five specimens. Types of Dr. Hartman's descrii)tion, 

 Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila., 1886, p. t.^,, PI. II, Fig. 9. The 

 habitat given with the descri{)tion is "Erromango Island, Solomon, 

 Islands." In the MS. work this is changed to " Erromango Island 

 New Hebrides," in accordance with a letter from Mr. Layard, June 11, 

 1887, in which he points out the mistake. In memoranda by Dr. Cox, 

 sent to Mr. Garrett and cojued by the latter for Dr. Hartman, the 

 habitat of spadicea is given as " Eddystone Island, Solomon Islands " ; 

 hence, no doubt, the locality given on the label. The shells were 

 received from Mr. Brazier, who had sent many Partulas to Pease ; he 

 may have sent this species with an erroneous label, or some similar 

 species from the Solomon Islands.
